What Cruise Crew Want Cruise Passengers To Know – Their Top Tips

…de is true on ships. Be NICE! I was told by every crew member we should be nice or nicer. As one did say to me on a recent Princess cruise, it’s straightforward, being nice will get you way further than if you’re rude. He kept stressing that the crew don’t set the prices, they don’t sail the ship, they’re not paid particularly well but (as he put it) they work their butts off for every single passenger. And are expected to be super friendly while…

This Cunard Regular Puts Their Brand-New Ship To The Test

…club. There is a small stage, some seating and of course loungers. It’s a nice area with a bar and ideal for warm weather cruises. They have got a much better space for the Shore Excursions and Future Cruise Sales too. They’ve renamed the casino to Route 1840, which is the year that Cunard came into being. Like other ships it is small, showing they expect this to be a mostly UK passenger ship. It’s mostly going to be sailing and based out of Sout…

…ble time in the airport, the crew had nothing to do with it and if you are nice with us we are nice with you. 2) if you are travelling with children and want to sit with them then get to the gate first, you dont have to buy priority boarding just make sure you get onboard first, dont come last and expect the crew to help you or for people to move just because you chose to have kids. 3) done change the babies nappies on the seats or in the isles th…

POSH Guest House Palm Springs California: review, pictures and video

…ice deep end (about 8 feet deep) and is kept at a constant temperature, so nice and cool. We have stayed at another guest house at the same time of the year (mid summer) and the pool was too warm. Here it is nice and refreshing all day. Drinks. There are free sodas, water and in the evening they have a cocktail hour where they make a signature Posh Cocktail. You can also have wine, and they have some snacks and cheese. Free wifi. This is a plus, a…

ATHENS: GRECOTEL CAPE SOUNIO HOTEL (ATHENS, GREECE)

…the public areas and for the cost I thought were not that great. They are nice but as they cost so much you felt it was not great value. The pool is salt water and is huge and very nice indeed with a very good beach bar/ restaurant serving lovely salads at lunchtime. The beach is ok, and reached by a tunnel under the road that runs in front of the hotel. It is clearly a man made beach and is fine though not that exceptional. There are very comfor…

…o a nice fruit selection, small bottle of red wine and free bottles of water. The overall decor was clean and modern, bright and airy without being overdone. I normally despair at how unimaginative hotel bathrooms are, but although small it was a good looking bathroom with some nice design touches. I had breakfast in the executive floor lounge on the 11th floor which had a good selection of fruit, pastries and eggs/ sausages. Nice work on the reva…

View of Sao Paulo from my room in Sofitel Here is my review of the hotel: I liked this hotel. The rooms are large; the food is good and the staff all very helpful and friendly.

On the podcast I talk about 4 main topics: 1) General information about Sydney and Australia (visas, screening on entering the country and cabs included!) 2) The 10 Best Things to do…

AmaWaterways AmaSonata River Cruise Ship Review and Tour

…arble bathroom with great shower and great water pressure, very hot water, nice premium toiletries. A really nice cabin. The bulk of the cabins are this style and they’re on the Violin deck and the Cello deck. On the Piano deck you have, because they are partly below the water level, cabins which just have windows higher up. I would really recommend if you possibly can to get one of the twin balcony cabins because that’s the best way of experienci…

…st areas. Particularly if you’re doing the Danube, you’re going to go to Venice, Bratislava, and Budapest, those places get absolutely rammed during July and August time and can be incredibly hot. I like September. I always think it’s a very nice time to be travelling in Europe because it’s warm. The days are still relatively long, but the mad tourist stuff has gone. So that would be my suggestion. Budget In terms of starter cruise, a lot of it de…
